Hi, I'm Demi, I'm 23. I come on here to ramble about my latest thoughts on life and what I'm getting up to in mine.

Thoughts lately...

What have you been up to people ask? Work is my answer, work work and more work.

I work in a clothes shop,which is currently holding it's biggest sale ever. It has been extremely busy and everyone has been non-stop. The queues on the first two days were longer than I have ever seen them and I have been working there over a year...they were worse than Christmas! It's like people had never seen clothes before, stupidly busy. So everyone has been helping out putting in extra hours. Unfortunately head office have cut lots of hours,which obviously isn't good for anyone. My contracted hours have still remained the same,but I rely on the extra hours a lot and won't have half as much overtime now. So now, I think it's time for me to start looking for a new job...

Soon I have my driving test coming up and I am so so desperate to pass! This will be my 3rd attempt. In my lessons I am fine, and the lesson you have before the test I'm fine, it's just the test itself I've not been as good,hence the fails. Me and my instructor may actually have a full on crying session this time round with either me passing or failing. I feel like I have been learning forever and to fail and do it again, and again and now a third time is rather frustrating,but you have got to keep at it. I am so used to my instructor that when someone else is there instead of her I think I freak out a little bit,because I haven't got her reassurance. So she has suggested taking a mock test (eeeek) or having my boyfriend or someone sit in on my lessons so that I get used to someone else being there, I think I prefer the second option. Also my instructor has suggested eating a banana before I take my test, as many of her other learners have and they have passed...I didn't eat one on the other two tests,so on this one I am going to even though I don't really like them, if I do it and pass, it'll be hilarious :')

My holiday is fast approaching,yay!! It's August this weekend,and I go in September, so it really isn't long. It's all paid for, we just need to sort out insurance,how we're getting to and from the airport and I need to get some euros before I spend all my money! If I change it up, I can't spend it. I'm pretty much sorted with clothes, don't need to go too mad shopping as we're only going for a week,and when we get back it's going to be nearing Winter (ish) so I won't be able to wear much of it,so it'd be a waste. I would quite like to get my own suitcase but it's not vital, I'm sure someone has one I can use if I don't get round to buying one.
I've mentioned it before, but I've never been on holiday on my own before (as in no parents) so it's a little daunting trying to sort all this stuff out. My boyfriend is very with it when it comes to this sort of thing, so I know I'm in good hands!  Exciting!!! :)

So those are the things on my mind at the moment,just felt I needed to unload a little bit.

Getting fit!


So, I have been exercising...yes you heard correctly the girl who never exercises has decided to do so - Why?

In all honesty I have never really been bothered by exercising or getting fit,it crosses my mind occasionally but never that much that I want to do anything about it. I'm quite petite anyway wearing size 8-10 clothes, I'm happy at this size so often don't feel the need to go all out on exercise as I'm happy the way I am. I'm not the healthiest eater on the planet but I do try (not that hard) to keep an eye on what foods I put into my body,more so now than I've ever done before.
Although, you try and take chocolate away from me,you have a battle on your hands.

So the main reason I have started to add some exercise into my life is to get myself toned. I'm happy with what I have,I just want it to be less... jiggly. (Bum and things,I'm talking to you).

Later this year I am going on holiday for the first time in about 6/7 years, and I thought this would be a good thing to aim to get fit-ish for. The last time I went away I was 13,so wasn't really that bothered about what I looked like on a beach,but this time round I will be more into what clothes I wear and how I look in bikinis etc, as I'm older and you obviously feel different about things from 13 -20. I'm not overall that bothered about what I do look like but I thought this would be a good incentive to help me make the little changes I would like, to my body.

So how am I doing it?

On YouTube,I have found a channel run by Lucy Wyndham-Read and have been really enjoying her workouts, they are shorts videos that usually combine 2 high intensity exercises that you alternate between and do it from about 5-7 minutes,so I may do 2-3 of them in a session. Alongside that I recently purchased Charlotte Crosby's workout DVD and just looking at her transformation on the front makes me want put in my DVD player and do it. I also really enjoy swimming and living locally to a pool helps. At the moment I'm only doing about half an hours worth of exercise, but will be gradually building it up. So with those three activities combined, I should be as fit as anything by September!

I'll keep you updated...
